TRANSCRIPT +

(ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION)
In the Los Angeles neighborhood of Koreatown on Tuesday (May 9), reaction to the election of Liberal politician Moon Jae-in as President of South Korea is mixed.
Younger residents of the heavily Korean-populated enclave are ecstatic with the news, while older individuals are wary as nearly a decade of conservative rule comes to an end and with it the possibility of a more conciliatory approach toward North Korea.
